Pork Loin

haven't posted a cook in a while. Nothing fancy. Had to cook burgers for some family yesterday and since egg was hot figured I'd cook part of a pork loin I had in frig. Indirect at 300 til it hit 140. Glazed with jalapeno peach jelly with a few other things thrown in til it tasted right. Came out pretty good. 

Oh yeah, a little boudin for good luck.

    Nice! I really like leftover loin in my lunch salads!

    I usually cut them in half and slice half as thick chops and then smoke the other half.

    Yeah I made it year before last when we had a lot of peaches. I just kinda made up a recipe. Came out a little thin so its more like a sauce. Didnt quite set up like it should but I use it for pork and chicken. Pretty good stuff.

    I shamelessly attempted to copy you @Biggreenpharmacist  .

    Peach mango jalapeno candied glaze.  Juicy, great glaze.  Thanks for the prompt.  Pork loin has never been one of my fav cuts.  This cook may have changed that.

    Nice job. No shame in copying me. Mines a riff on APL's cilantro garlic pork loin. So I copied it myself.

    That rocks! A pork loin roast is one of our most favorite meals. Since there are just 2 of us I buy a 5 - 7 pounder when on sale. I then divide it into 1 to 1.25# pieces, seal in Food Saver bags and freeze.

    Yeah we eat them a lot. They seem to go on sale every other week. Pretty versatile, too.

    Here's an option that I do time to time...I rub them just the same as a rack of spares. Then I sauce them when about done and slice them before serving. They then taste like ribs without the bones!

    Hmmmm. Sounds good. Will give that a go. I sometimes slice thick chops and marinate in dale's marinade for few hours. They get dark colored and taste like a steak.

    Looks fantastic. Thank-you for sharing your technique. I've never had good results with pork loin so I will join the shameless crowd and use your recipe.

    Doing some pork loin research and came across your post from 2017.  Very nice!  Btw, boudin on the grill is killer in a big way.  I get it.  :)
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.
